Yes, all of these are needed. :) This is admittedly a bit odd, but kvm-unit-tests access.flat tests this if you run it with "-cpu host" and of course ept=0. KVM handles supervisor writes of a pte.u=0/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0 page by setting U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE. This will cause a user write to fault and a supervisor write to succeed (which is correct because CR0.WP=0). A user read instead will flip U=0 to 1 and W=1 back to 0.
BTW, it should be pte.u = 1 where you mentioned above.
